Our Training Courses Are Awesome!

Did you know, we are one of only two brands that provide Government accredited training courses.

"You are the BEST! This is why I love MTWB - for the outstanding service I get. You're always there to help with any questions. No other company has their CEO personally write back every time. It's always the paper pushers who write back and they have no idea about tanning except what they have been brain washed to remember. So THANK YOU!

My next client is Wednesday so I will try then and let you know how I go.

Member Testimonials

Oscar Oscar Salons chose the HBIA as an industry partner for the expertise provided in the area of workplace law. From the first week as members, the salon partners and managers have found the investment in the annual membership, to be a mostvaluable resource in the area of human resources, employment law and best practice in fostering a great place to work. The additional benefit has been the development of our team leading the salons to being able to make balanced and informed decisions with their teams.

Ann-Maree Mason, General Manager at Oscar Oscar Salons

We have been associated with the HBIA for many years as a salon owner and then as an RTO. The information and support we receive from the HBIA is invaluable and any salon owner should consider membership. Running a business today can be complex and time consuming and unintentionally businesses can quickly discover they are operating outside of the law. HBIA can assist you in receiving the most up to date information to ensure you are protected.

Mirella Heuperman, Operations Manager at BIBA Academy

I have been associated with the HBIA for over 25 years and have found them

an invaluable resource and imperative for running my business. When I had my salon we utilised HBIA and found the service incredibly valuable. We also found the benefits

associated with membership such as the salon insurance saved us real dollars as well as gave us piece of mind. In my role as Artistic Director with HBIA I hear constantly how valuable our events are for industry as well as new entrants to the industry. I am very proud to be associated with HBIA. If you can only belong to one Association it must be HBIA.

Michelle Anthony, 2013 Australian Hairdressing of the Year & Artistic Director HBIA

I joined the HBIA as a young salon owner (many years ago) primarily for information on how to run my business. I also had a strong desire to belong to an organization that understood what my feelings were and the help I would need as a salon owner & employer. Something uniquely HAIRDRESSING. What I have gained from HBIA, over the years, has been so much more.
